I just find it funny that a lot here write headers like it's a V8. And I'm not even German, I just occupying some of their land as retaliation of the past.

The Gruppe S sticks out a bit in front of the engine, the front O2 sensor is clearly visible and clearly not going into a cat and I deleted the sound generator that blocks the view. Though I wrapped the header it's still pretty obvious. I'm not sure I will risk it, the swap is really fast.
But we are drifting off topic which is "where are my 10 hp".
I was clearly a bit annoyed at the logs earlier and calmed down a bit. The improvement in the torque dip is nice for driving the car on the streets and for sure will have some benefit on track too. Also, it doesn't sound that bad though I prefer the EL sound. I was just hoping for more.
Now that I have it, I'm going to keep it and keep tuning. I was already thinking about E85 before (though it's a pain to get here), so this is extra motivation. I now expect a 20 hp gain from E85, since I got cheated of 10 here.
